We gave several children in Burkina Faso disposable or digital cameras and asked them to take photos of their lives. Looking at these photos, what do you think matters most to the children who took them?

Photos gathered by Paul Henri Kabore, Field Communication Specialist

A special thank you to our young photographers: Alassane, Ali, Nana, Sandwidi, Belem, Nehemie and Nina.

My Compassion child, Elizabeth, is from B.F. It does my heart good to see these pictures and sense the joy they feel and to think my child is probably just as happy by learning about Jesus and from receiving special care because of Compassion International.

What a neat idea! It’s so fun to see photos from the kids’ point of view…to see what is important to them. Family and friends seem to be a repeated theme!! Thank you so much for sharing these precious photos!

What a wonderful idea! Seeing the photos taken by the children totally made my day and makes me feel closer to the work of those on site. Love to you all and may God continue to bless your work and fill you all with joy!

My two children Junedine Hussan Mohamed and Leandro Jose Padilla Bojorge from Ethiopia and Nicaragua have given me so much more purpose in life. I run a Montessori School and I collect the proceeds to help children like these. This is why I wake up everyday to go on doing what I do to help those in need. God bless you all for your love and support. Lydia
